Caroline

We were both young when I first saw you.  I close my eyes
 and the flashback starts,
  I'm standing there on
 a balcony in summer air  See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.  
See you make your way through the crowd 
 And say hello, little did I know.   That you were Romeo.  
You were throwing pebbles.  
And my daddy said stay away from 
Juliet . And I was crying on the staircase,  Begging you please don't go,   
And I said  Romeo, take me somewhere we 
can be alone  I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run,  You'll be 
the prince and I'll be the 
princess  It's a love story, 
baby, just say yes,   So I sneak out to the garden to see you,  
We keep quiet 'cause 
we're dead if they knew  
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while   Oh, oh, oh   
'Cause you were Romeo,  
I was a scarlet letter,
  And my daddy said stay away from Juliet,  But you were 
everything to me 
 I was begging you please don't go
   And I said  Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone 
 I'll be waiting, 
all there's left to do is run
  You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess , It's a love story, 
baby, just say yes  
 Romeo, save me, they're trying to
 tell me how to feel,  This love is difficult, but it's real,  
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess,  It's a love story, 
baby, just say yes   Oh oh, I got tired of waiting, Wondering if
 you were ever 
coming around,  My faith in you was fading 
 When I met you on the outskirts of town   And I said  Romeo 
save me, I've been feeling so alone  
I keep waiting for you but you never come , Is this in my head, 
I don't know what to think , 
He knelt to the ground and 
pulled out a ring,  And said   Marry me, Juliet, 
you'll never 
have to be alone  
I love you and that's all I really know  
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress  It's a love story, baby, 
just say yes   Oh, oh, oh, oh   
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
